Zhang Ke rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not dazzled by excessive fatigue before. The sight like a bar mixing table in front of him was definitely not an illusion. Then he began to think about whether he was crazy or the whole world was crazy.
this problem.
"Don't feel confused or nervous. You are not crazy, and the world has not lost its reasonable causality. It's just that you can't see the causes and consequences behind some incredible phenomena."
Standing in front of the bar was a man dressed as a bartender, wearing a dark black mask. There was no pattern on the mask. It was like a dense mass that could not be dissolved, covering most of his face.
, revealing only a pair of eyes that are as bright as stars in the night sky, and his pupils seem to be rare double pupils, like two overlapping halos coexisting in the eyeballs.
However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he seemed to have hit on Zhang Ke's confused thoughts, which made him more or less put aside some of his unconfident questions, but made him more alert.
These things in front of me are real and almost certain, but such an unreasonable appearance made Zhang Ke, who was a little frightened, not dare to despise it.
He did not step forward to get close to the other person, but pulled Yuan Mengmeng behind him with one hand, stood at a certain distance, and asked the person he tentatively called "the bartender": "Can you explain why you showed up?"
Are you here? I've never heard of a mobile bar on the subway."
"But you do want a drink, don't you?" the bartender smiled. Although Zhang Ke couldn't see the other person's mouth hidden under the mask, but for some reason, just seeing the bartender's narrowed eyes,
It seemed to be quite certain that the other person had a calm smile on his face.
"No, at least I'm not interested in drinking in this kind of place and this kind of time." Zhang Ke looked at the small but well-equipped various wine bottles and ingredients on the simple bar, and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
Feeling uneasy about being spied on, I didn't want to fight with the bartender any more, and instead prepared to pull Yuan Mengmeng away.
"That's really weird. If you don't want to drink, why are you looking for that bar?"
Seeing Zhang Ke's back turned around, the masked bartender still just said a gentle word -
But for Zhang Ke, the moment he heard these words, he felt as if he was being pressed down by mountains and mountains, and he could no longer move an inch.
"You - what did you say?" Zhang Ke turned around in disbelief, only to see that the other party had already prepared a glass of wine. It was a mint cocktail as blue as the sea, with dots of sprinkles sprinkled on the surface.
The silver shavings are like the clear moonlight crushed on the sea surface.
But the most eye-catching part of the whole glass of wine is the flower floating in the center of the glass. It is a sea flower that is as wispy as a crab claw and as deep red as fire.
"Our special cocktail, Shanghai Flower Cocktail, I hope you will be satisfied with it." The bartender gracefully made a "please" gesture and said to Zhang Ke with a smile.
"Are you...this is the Shanghai Flower Bar?" At this time, Zhang Ke no longer cared about being alert and rushed to the bar. However, he did not pick up the wine, but stared into the bartender's eyes and asked in an urgent tone.
road.
"Unfortunately, that's not the case. Although this drink is indeed the signature drink of Shanghai Flower Bar, and I am also a bartender there." The bartender waved his hand and said, "I just found that you are looking for the latest drink of our bar.
address, so we have specially brought special wines to serve you.
"Wait a minute, how do you know-" Zhang Keye ignored the confused Yuan Mengmeng next to him and couldn't understand what the two of them were talking about, so he blurted out, "I'm looking for the address of Shanghai Flower Bar, and it's obviously already
It happened several time cycles ago. In this one-day cycle, I didn't do anything related to looking for sea flowers at all. How did you find out?"
The implication of his words is also very clear. The other party is obviously like himself, someone who can escape the restrictions of reincarnation and retain the memory of a day's cycle. Otherwise, no matter what high-tech means are used, it is impossible to find that he was several reincarnations ago.
, I once tried to find the facts about Shanghai Flower Bar.
After all, for ordinary people, they have no awareness of this 24-hour cycle. Every restart is equivalent to erasing all memories and starting the day over again. Therefore, everything they have done in previous reincarnations has no effect on them.
It's just something that never happened and doesn't exist.
Only his own kind can understand and discover these behaviors that have been abandoned in the reincarnation. Zhang Ke originally wanted to find as many of his kind as possible, but he didn't expect that one of them would come to his door now. How could he?
Not excited?
"In this world, no matter who does anything, it will leave corresponding traces. As long as you follow the traces and go back, you can follow the order of the cause and effect chain and find the original truth. So do you and me.
That's it." The bartender said calmly, "It's just that for most people, they don't have the ability to trace the source. They will only get entangled in the things in front of them, so they can't get the correct answer."
"As for the so-called reincarnation and cycle, it's just that everyone looks at the phenomenon in front of them from a different perspective and draws different conclusions. Whether time is a straight river or a surrounding whirlpool, it does not mean that it has passed.
The water will disappear without a trace forever.”
Zhang Ke vaguely felt that what he said seemed to be implying something, but then the man picked up the wine glass, moved it a little closer to Zhang Ke, and said gently: "Why don't you drink it? It's because I mixed it.
If the wine doesn't suit your taste, I can guarantee that it will taste exactly like what you once tasted in a bar."
"I've been to Shanghai Flower Bar in the past, and you've seen me there too?" Zhang Ke picked up the wine glass, hesitated for a moment but did not drink, but asked, "Then you know, before this endless repetition of today,
Has anything happened to me?”
"Sorry, I'm just an ordinary bartender. I really can't remember every customer's life experience. All I can do is serve you a glass of wine when you need it."
After hearing his answer, Zhang Ke did not continue to ask, but directly picked up the wine glass and prepared to drink it in one gulp.
"Wait a minute Zhang Ke! No, don't drink..." Yuan Mengmeng hurriedly held his hand.
